my Hamels for his Longo, WHIR

[MadDog36]

in an ideal world, I'd be able to offload Zimm for another SP...but there is no guarantee that I'll be able to do this...which is why i'm so hesitant to pull the trigger.

So, it really comes down to:

Is the addition of Longo good enough to basically have a mediocre pitching staff??

no to trade.
what 2b are available?????

what 2b are available?????

on the wire:

Alex Casilla (MIN)
Jason Kipnis (CLE)
Jose Altuve (HOU)
Michael Martinez (PHI)
Darwin Barney (CHI)

...so pretty slim pickings

Definitely stash Jason Kipnis (CLE) on your bench. He's got good wheels, plenty of XBH ability and some power. He might be the second coming of a dustin pedroia or michael young. But his glove is a bit shaky right now. Imagine Dan Uggla with a better BA more SB little less power upside but still there. Maybe a slightly better Kelly Johnson, there we go. That's better.
